What if your career isn’t over, it just needs a reset?

In this episode, we’re joined by John Tarnoff, career coach and author of Boomer Reinvention, who shares how he completely pivoted after being laid off at 50. From Hollywood executive to helping thousands navigate second and third careers, John’s story is real, relatable, and packed with insight for anyone figuring out what’s next.

We talk about how to stay relevant in a changing world of work, why your next chapter doesn’t have to look anything like your last, and how to build a career that actually feels good, not just impressive on paper.

We talk about:

- Why your career isn’t a straight line and that’s okay

- How to shift direction without starting from scratch

- What a “60-year career” could look like in today’s world

- The mindset you need to grow, even when it feels like you’re late

- Why failure might be the thing that finally frees you

- Tools like Ikigai and prototyping to test new paths before you commit

💎 GOLDEN NUGGET:

“You’re not starting over. You’re starting from experience. That’s the shift. You’re not going back to the bottom of the ladder—you’re building a whole new ladder, using everything you’ve learned. People think reinvention means erasing the past, but it actually means carrying the best of it forward. Your story isn’t restarting. It’s evolving.”
